Parent Portal Guides

To use our Parent Portal, you must first set up an account using the information provided by your child's school office. Please see the Parent Portal User Guide and the Creating a Parent Account video for additional information. Portal access is available for students in all grades except Pre-Kindergarten.

The PowerSchool Student and Parent portal is an integrated tool within the PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS), specifically designed for parents and students.  The PowerSchool Student and Parent portal gives parents and students access to real-time information, including attendance, grades, and detailed assignment descriptions, school bulletins, and even personal messages from the teacher. Everyone stays connected: students stay on top of assignments, parents can participate more fully in their student's progress, and teachers can use their gradebook to decide which information they want to share with parents and students.  

PowerSchool now provides single sign-on access to the PowerSchool Student and Parent portal. With single sign-on access, parents can now have their own individual parent account, including a username and password. You will create your account using the appropriate access credentials supplied by our schools. Once your account is created, you can manage your account information, link any and all students to your account (for whom you have parental and legal rights), and set email and notification preferences for each student linked to your account. If you've forgotten your account sign-in information, you can retrieve it by using auto-recovery.  

PowerSchool mobile apps are designed to work with a traditional gradebook. Due to our District's use of a customized standards-based gradebook, many mobile apps (Android and iOS) are unavailable or disabled. We will continue to monitor developments in the mobile app. Parents can log onto the Parent Portal using a web browser on their mobile device. 

District 63 uses ParentSquare for school-to-home communication, primarily through email, text, and app notifications. It's an "all-in-one" platform; every D63 parent is automatically opted into the system and will receive emails and messages.

However, we encourage parents to "register" for their accounts on the ParentSquare website (choose sign in/register using the email or phone number you provided to the District), and download the ParentSquare app to get the most out of the system. You can download the iOS app or the Android app.

Through ParentSquare - once you are registered and have downloaded the app, you can:

• Receive messages from the school via email, text, or app notification. If you do not have a cell phone, text notifications will be sent as voice messages to your landline. 
• Choose to receive information as it comes or all at once with a daily digest at 6 p.m. (Note: some messages - for example, emergency communications - will reach you immediately. 
• Communicate in your preferred language.
• Comment on school postings.
• Direct message teachers and staff.
• Participate in group messages.
• Submit sign-up forms & permission slips, sign up to volunteer, and more.
